Serial Printer sharing through Win2000

[masked1]

I am having problems sharing a HP printer.

I have connect a HP printer to computer A, on computer B I have successfully mapped the shared printer. However, I am unable to print anything from computer B. Can anyone help on this matter?

I have tried removing the printer and re-sharing it. NOTE: computer A prints fine, but computer B does not print at all.

Thank you

Drivers loaded on computer B? Printer properties on B list as "network port"?

yes, all drivers are loaded.... does the connection between computer A and the printer being a serial port matter?

Ummm... serial port? Are you serious, or is that a typo?

You need to have the computers networked together via the RJ45 network ports.

its not a typo. both computers are networked. its a serial connection from computer A to printer as the printer is a HP plotter....

any ideas?
